Oklahoma Social Studies 1.P.2.3

1.P.2.3 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

  Answer geographic questions using geographic information about the student’s own community.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students use simple maps and photos to answer questions about places in their community. They identify natural features and things people built. They explain how a feature, such as a hill or tree, affects where people walk, build, or play.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can draw a simple map of the schoolyard and use it to find the playground. They can point out a tree and a sidewalk, then explain how the tree gives people shade.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think a map shows a place from the same view as a photo. They may call a sidewalk a natural feature or miss how a hill changes the route people take.

04

How to Assess It

Show a photo of the schoolyard. Ask students to name one natural feature, one thing people built, and one way either affects what people do there.

1. 01

   Walk the schoolyard, then have students draw a map with the school building, playground, and two natural features they saw.

2. 02

   Show a schoolyard photo and ask, “Where would you play for shade, and what in the photo helps you decide?”

3. 03

   Give pairs a schoolyard map and photo cards of its features; have them match each card to a spot on the map.

4. 04

   On a school map, have students plan a route from the entrance to the playground after rain and explain their choice.
